If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Lyall Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
